Minsthorpe Community College Local Offer

Transcription

1 Minsthorpe Community College Local Offer Vision / mission statement Minsthorpe Community College is an inclusive school with a strong belief that all students needs should be met as fully as possible irrespective of gender, race or disability. At Minsthorpe Community College Specialist Support is part of the continuum of Support for Achievement which begins in Year 5 and extends to Year 13. The SEN Code of Practice 2014 advocates a graduated response to meeting students needs. The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) and teachers will review the approaches adopted. It is important to stress that the student and parents will be at the centre of this procedure having full involvement at each and every stage. This continuum covers three tiers of support: 1. Universal Support 2. Targeted Support 3. Specialist Support Universal Support includes the entitlement of all students to support, advice and guidance to maximise their achievement and aspirations. Targeted Support includes the strands of support for identified students who require specific intervention at specific times during their learning journey. Specialist Support includes the strands of support for the students with the highest level of need, in terms of learning and/or social and emotional needs as well as students with Special Educational Needs. 1

2 The overriding aim of the Support for Achievement Strategy is to raise the academic achievement and aspirations of all students, by ensuring individuals receive support, information and guidance, which is well timed and at an appropriate level and type to meet their needs. At every stage of the above graduated approach, the college will ensure delivery of the provision and hold regular reviews of the appropriateness of that provision. What is a special educational need? A child or young person has SEN if they have learning difficulty or learning disability which calls for a special educational provision to be made for them. A child of compulsory school age or young person has a learning difficulty or disability if they: (a) Have a significantly greater need in learning than the majority of others of the same age: or (b) Have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools or mainstream post-16 institutions. A child under compulsory school age has a special educational need if they fall within the definition of (a) or (b) above or would do so if special educational provision was not made for them. (Special educational needs and disability code of practice: 0 25 years - June 2014) 2

3 What are the areas of SEND? Communication and Interaction Students with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) may have difficulty communicating with others and may also not understand and use social rules of communication. This often includes students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, including Asperger s Cognition and Learning Learning difficulties covers a wide range of needs including moderate learning difficulties (MLD) specific learning difficulties (SLD), where students are likely to need support in all areas of the curriculum. Specific learning difficulties affect one or more specific aspect of learning. This encompasses a range of conditions such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia. Social, emotional and mental health difficulties Students may experience a wide range of social and emotional difficulties. These may include becoming withdrawn, isolated as well as displaying challenging, disruptive or disturbing behaviour. Other students may have disorders such as attention deficit disorder, attention hyperactive deficit disorder or attachment disorder. Sensory and / or physical needs These include visual impairment, or multi sensory impairment which will require specialist support and / or equipment for a student to access their learning. Some students with a physical disability require on-going support and equipment to access all the opportunities available to their peers. 3

4 What is a disability? The Equality Act 2012 states that a person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment and the impairment has a substantial and long term effect adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day to day activities. A physical or mental impairment includes: learning difficulties including specific learning difficulties; medical conditions including epilepsy, diabetes, more severe forms of asthma or eczema; autism; speech, language and communication impairments. If the impairments have a substantial and long term effect on a person s ability to carry out normal day to day activities it may amount to a disability. 4

9 Transition to Minsthorpe Community College Children and young people with SEN can become particularly anxious about moving on so we seek to support successful transition by: When moving to another school: We will contact the School SENCO and share information about special arrangements and support that has been made to help your child achieve their learning goals We will ensure that all records are passed on as soon as possible When moving groups/forms in school: Information shared with new teacher In year 6-7 transition: The SENCO will attend the primary/secondary transition day meeting to discuss specific need of your child and the nature and level of support which has had the most impact. In some cases additional multi- agency meetings may be arranged to create a more detailed transition plan which may include more visits to the new school and/or additional visits from the new school. Link to Transition from Minsthorpe Community College to post 16 provisions: At Minsthorpe Community College all students are prepared for the transition to post 16 settings through a programme of assemblies and alternative curriculum day sessions. Our dedicated careers advisor works with parents and students to advise on suitable courses at all levels The careers advisor attends annual reviews in year 9 and 11 for students with Education Health Care Plan The SENCO works with the careers advisor to ensure that all information regarding the students additional needs are passed on to the post 16 setting. Additional visits to post 16 settings can be arranged as required Mobility training can be organised as appropriate Outside agency advice is actively sought as required 9

10 Staffing Expertise An on- going programme of training is in place to ensure that teachers and support staff have appropriate skills and knowledge in areas that will improve their teaching and support of children with SEN. Recent training has covered : Dyslexia, Nurturing Talk, Autistic Children s Anxiety, Looked After Children, Good Differentiation for children with learning difficulties at KS3, Foetal Alcohol Spectrum, Supporting children with speech and language communication needs, and supporting children who have English as another language Our SENCO actively engages with local opportunities to share best practice and keep abreast of current local and national initiatives and policy to support students with SEN. The college is part of a larger SENCO network within Wakefield which the SENCO attends. The school also seeks advice and guidance from local special schools to review, evaluate and develop provision for students who have the most complex needs. Parent Questions Parent Questions How does the college know if my child needs extra help and what should I do if I think my child may have special educational needs? How will the college staff support my child? Answers Early identification of pupils with additional needs is a priority at Minsthorpe Community College. On entry to the college each student s abilities will be assessed. In the first term all Year 7 and as the students continue through the college we will use appropriate screening and assessment tools to measure pupil progress. Minsthorpe Community College works closely with the feeder primary schools attending annual reviews of students in Year 5 and also through our transition programme in Year 6. Minsthorpe Community College will work together with students and their parents using the information from assessments to design appropriate differentiated programmes for pupils with identified additional needs, including: Providing starting points for an appropriate curriculum Identifying the need for support within the class Assessing learning difficulties Ensuring on- going observations/assessments provide regular feedback on achievements/ experiences, for planning next steps in learning 10

11 Involving parents in a joint home- school learning approach How will the curriculum be matched to my child s needs? Teachers are skilled at adapting teaching to meet the diverse range of needs in each class. Daily planning takes into account individual student s needs and requirements. Differentiation is approached in a range of ways to support access and ensure that all students can experience success and challenge in their learning. Grouping arrangements are organised flexibly with opportunities for both ability and mixed setting to maximise learning opportunities for all. Additional adults are used flexibly to help groups and individual students with a long term goal of developing independent learning skills. Monitoring takes place to avoid students becoming over reliant and dependent on this adult support. Interventions and strategies for support are tailored to individual needs following discussions with parents, students, subject teachers, outside agencies (as required) and the SENCO. The main methods of intervention and support are: Full- time education in classes, with additional help and support by the subject teacher through a differentiated curriculum Periods of withdrawal individually or in groups to work with a support teacher In- class support with adult assistance Support from specialists within class or as part of a withdrawal programme Pastoral care Support to improve attendance Social skills support Support to reduce anxiety and promote emotional well- being Strategies to support behaviour Support to support and improve numeracy and literacy skills Support and supervision at unstructured times of the day Nurture Group Year 7 Pathways in Year 9 11

12 How will I know how my child is doing and how will you help me to support my child s learning? How are the college s resources allocated and matched to children s special educational needs? How is the decision made about the type and how much support my child will receive? The progress of students at every stage of the above graduated approach will be tracked using the college s assessment data. Progress will be shared with parents termly and will be discussed with parents at annual meetings. Students holding a MSP (Minsthorpe Support Plan) or an EHCP (Education Health Care Plan formally a statement) will have an Additional Needs Plan, reviewed each term. Students with an EHCP will also have annual reviews where progress is reported to the Local Authority. Every Year 7 student is tested with the first half- term of starting at Minsthorpe Community College. A computer based assessment called LUCID. Alongside this information we also use transition information, KS2 scores, outside agency reports, subject teachers, Head of Year and home to help match the needs of our students. After discussions with key staff and parents, additional support will be put into place to provide enhanced resources and/or targeted small group and/or individual support to help overcome any difficulties. The views of the student or young person about their support will be given consideration at this stage. This additional support is documented and in consultation with the SENCO and parents, short term targets are agreed which prioritise key areas of learning or behaviour to address and by which progress can be measured. Where external agencies are involved, their advice and recommendations are included in these support programmes. Actions agreed take into account each student s strengths as well as their difficulties. In some cases teaching assistant support may be allocated. This support is deployed to ensure your child can engage in lessons and wider school activities and to facilitate independent learning to support transition to adulthood. Formal review meetings are held as required. Parents, relevant external agencies and when appropriate, students are invited to this review and their contribution is valued. The impact of support offered is considered along with the progress towards targets set. Support arrangements will be updated and revised accordingly. If not involved already, this might include referral to external agencies. The outcomes of these meetings will be formally recorded. If your child is continuing to have significant difficulties, further external expertise may be requested. Additional funding is available for children who meet the criteria. This can be 12

13 Tests and Examinations: Access Arrangements Who can I contact for further information? accessed using the Local Authority process and the guidance in the Banded Funding Criteria. Where this is agreed, a Student Resource Agreement will be drawn up and implemented with the school s Educational Psychologist and other professionals where appropriate. Further details about this process will be explained in the LA Local Offer. For some students additional arrangements and adjustments can be made to enable them to fully access a range of tests. This might include additional time, rest breaks or the use of a scribe or word processor. The SENCO will inform you about eligibility and applications for these arrangements. Only tests and assessors authorised by the school and recognised by JCQ can be accepted for access arrangements for public examinations. Parents are always welcome to contact individual subject teachers, Head of Year, the Assistant SENCO or the SENCO to discuss any concerns they may have. 13

14 Questions from a Young Person s Point of View Young person s Questions How does the college know if I need help? What should I do if I think I need extra help? How will my course work be organised to meet my individual needs? How will I be involved in planning for my needs and who will explain it and help me? Who will tell me what I can do to help myself and be more independent? Answers Before starting at Minsthorpe Community College we will speak to your previous school and look at all the information about you in order to ensure you are supported. If needed you will visit Minsthorpe Community College as part of our transition plan so that you feel confident in September. Throughout your time at Minsthorpe we will continue to track your progress, speak to your teachers, you and home. We also ask all our new students to complete a short assessment which will identify if you need any support. For example, support with spelling or writing. If you think you need extra help then you speak to your subject teacher, Head of year, teaching assistant, Assistant SENCO or SENCO. If you do not feel comfortable in doing this then you could ask your parent / care to contact someone at the school to discuss your concerns. We look at all the information on you to help us meet your needs. Sometimes we will speak to outside agencies or advisors who may know you better and are able to help us to support you in school. You and your family will always be kept informed and be part of this process. At Minsthorpe Community College we work together with all our students. You will be part of meetings and the SENCO, Assistant SENCO or Head of Year will explain anything you do not understand. Dependant on the support that is needed will depend on who will help you. Once again, that will be explained to you and your parent / carer At each assessment point and parents evening teaching staff will work closely with you to set targets that you are able to achieve. Any 14

15 What should I do if I am worried about something? How will I know if I am doing as well as I should? How can I get help if I am worried about things other than my course? Are there staff in college who have been trained to help young people who need extra help? Can college staff get extra help from experts outside the college if they need to? (e.g. advice and training on medical conditions) reviews that take place will also identify how you can be more independent and strategies to support this. If you are worried about anything you can speak to any member of staff who will pass it on to the relevant staff member in college. If you have an ST pass you can use that and come to specialist support to speak to someone. Specialist support is also open before school, every break and lunch time and there are staff that you can speak to there too. Three times a year your teachers will access your progress and feedback through a formal report. However, if concerned about any subject you can ask your subject teacher or Head of Year. If you are worried about anything other than your course you can speak to any member of staff who may pass it. There is always support in specialist support before school, breaks and lunchtimes too. If you find it difficult to come and speak in school you can always ask your parent / carer to ring the school. Our staff at the college are very skilled at adapting teaching to meet the diverse range of needs in each class and other difficulties. If needed the college will work with outside agencies to seek advice in how best to support you in and outside the classroom. At Minsthorpe Community College we work closely with outside agencies. We regularly meet and work alongside Educational Psychologists (EPS), Learning Support Services, Communication and Interaction Access Team (CIAT), Targeted Youth Support (TYS), Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and any other agencies that may support you to be successful in college 15
